The 2026 United States House of Representatives elections in North Carolina will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the 14 U.S. representatives from the state of North Carolina, one from each of the state's congressional districts. The elections will coincide with other elections to the House of Representatives, elections to the United States Senate, and various state and local elections. The primary elections took place on March 3, 2026, and if there was races where no candidate receives over 30% in a primary, runoff elections would take place on May 12.[2]

Redistricting

[edit]

Background

[edit]

On October 13, 2025, the North Carolina General Assembly announced a plan to pass a new congressional map to help the GOP maintain its control in the United States House of Representatives for the 2026 elections as part of the broader 2025 U.S. redistricting cycle after Texas and Missouri had also passed new maps.[3]

On October 21, 2025, the North Carolina Senate passed Senate Bill 249, which targeted the 1st district, the state's only competitive district, as well as the more heavily Republican-leaning 3rd district, with a party-line vote of 26-20. It passed in the House on October 22, 2025, with a party-line vote of 66-48, approved by the General Assembly without the signature of Governor Josh Stein, who does not have the authority to veto the congressional map. This is the first time in the modern era that North Carolina has redrawn maps mid-decade without being court-ordered to do so.[4][5][6]

[edit]

On October 31, 2025, the North Carolina State Conference of the NAACP, Common Cause, and individual plaintiffs filed motions to seek an injunction against the newly enacted congressional map to block its use for the 2026 United States House of Representatives elections, arguing that the new map linked to SB 249 violates multiple amendments and targets "the heart of the Black Belt." It was already challenged in its prior configuration as intentionally discriminatory, exacerbating the already-demonstrated vote dilution in NC-01 by massively reducing the district’s Black voting-age population and eviscerating North Carolina’s longstanding Black Belt district. An injunction was set for the November 19th deadline.[7][8][9]

A three-judge panel later rejected the injunction to pause the implementation of the new map, ruling that the plaintiffs had not made a clear showing that they are likely to succeed on the merits of any of the claims advanced in their preliminary injunction motions and that they had not shown that their First Amendment claims and Fourteenth Amendment partisanship claim are likely to be justiciable, much less successful. The panel added that the direct evidence shows that partisanship, not race, motivated the reconfiguration of the districts, and that even if the new districts have a disparate impact on Black voters, that doesn’t mean lawmakers acted with discriminatory intent.[10]

In January 2026, the plaintiffs dropped the lawsuit.[11]

As a combat commander who led an 800-man battalion task force into Iraq in 2003, Buckhout understands true service. Her platform focuses heavily on a people-first economic policy designed to lower the cost of living for working families and support local agriculture.
